New Road For Bristol

Bristol, Va., Aug. 15 -- Special -- The recent persistent rumor to 
the effect that the Kentucky North and South railway, which is 
building a line of road in central Kentucky, will have Bristol for 
its eastern terminus, now seems to be assuming tangible form. It is 
announced that Mr. Edgar F. Pasion, the chief engineer of the road, 
will visit Bristol this week to map out a route for a preliminary 
survey between Bristol and the Kentucky line. It is stated that the 
road will enter Tennessee at or near Jellico, and traversing Hancock 
and Hawkins counties, enter Sullivan county near Kingsport, and build 
via Blountville to Bristol.
